The company also offers the "Now Edition" with regular news
updates for $18 a month. And for the digital bundle at $3.99 per
week, users can get full access to WSJ.com and its suite of
digital products (iPad, Android Tablet Edition, iPhone, and
BlackBerry apps), which adds up to roughly $17 with tax for a
full month.

The single-issue option will be tested on the iPad before it
moves onto the Android.

Meanwhile, the New York Times announced its new metered
paywall -- which Bowen said was irrelevant to the WSJ offering --
to launch next week.
